Ok...I don't normally do this...

Needless to say, with my very boisterous opinions and steel-toed-boot stepping on people's toes and feelings, I try to not endorse one thing or another simply because I don't want others thinking, "Well, if THAT a-hole says it's great, *I'M* not buying it!"
So please, for those of thinking that way...stop right now and heed my words.
P90X works.
I'm a 42 year old sedentary slob. Yeah, I can squeeze my (I hate even admitting this) 187 pounds into a Stormtrooper or Clone Trooper outfit...but it hurts. And, I'm not tall (as I've stated time and time again, which some on here loved to bring up from time to time because it made THEM feel like bigger people inside). I'm 5'7".
Chunky to say the least.
I finally, FINALLY, got sick of what I was seeing in the mirror every morning when I got out of the shower. I was tired of being tired. I was tired of being unable to see let alone touch my toes.
And I wanted to look good naked.
A friend/co-worker of mine last year did the program and I gave him hell about it to say the least. I ribbed him about how sore he was every day. About the diet and nutritional program he was on that was supplemental to the workout routine. But he did it. And he looked great after.
So, after hemming and hawing for months, I finally bit the bullet myself and decided what the hell...let's give it a shot.
After one week...SEVEN DAYS...I see and feel the difference. I've dropped one pants size already. I've noticed the the aches and pains that I've been suffering the last several months are vanishing (my shoulder, which my doctor told me could be due to rheumatoid arthritis OR a ruptured disc and kept me from sleeping for months is now down to a mild throb...and feeling better every day). I can now see AND touch my toes...and beyond. I've noticed the mass building in my biceps and triceps. And my breathing (even though I continue to smoke) is much more relaxed and not as "heavy" as some of you smokers may relate to.
In a nutshell...this system works. I've tried everything, too, to lose the weight beforehand, all those little gimmicks and "lose weight fast!" scams. None of them...repeat, NONE of them, worked. I am not weighing myself until after the first month, but I know, can feel, that I've begun to drop the weight.
It's not easy. It's not for the weak of heart and certainly not for those who can't dedicate themselves to it. The yoga workout made me want to throw up. I could only do 40 minutes of the hour long kenpo routine. And I've sweat, sweat, and sweat even more. Every day, it's something new, some new twisted pain to put your body in...and at the end, beyond the sweat and tears, your body thanks you.
So, for anyone out there who is serious about losing weight...getting into shape...being in the best shape you can think of...I recommend this. After the 90 days is over, I'm moving onto the "doubles" version of the program, with even more workouts every day...it's THAT fun!
Have a great Sunday everyone!
